The final hand of the event occurred after "Lrslzk" and "Tagult" decided to get it into the middle pre-flop. "LrsLzk", who had a 2.1 million to 1.7 million chip advantage, turned over A-Q offsuit, while "Tagult" turned over pocket Kings.

The board ran out 2d-Js-Ah-Jh-Th, giving "LrsLzk" a pair of Aces and the victory.
